I was looking for a cheap surround sound system that would support 5.1 dolby digital audio through a fibre optic connection, (for use with the xbox 360, so it needs to have a decoder) I use the same monitor for my xbox and pc with a vga switcher, so it must also be able to take 3x analogue coaxial mini jacks or 1x digital mini jack aswell (from a creative xfi) I have looked around and can't find any of the leading pc 5.1 speakers with optical connections on at all, so I would really appreciate any help.
The Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system comes with an external decoder and has exactly the inputs that you are looking for. The 3 pc inputs, 1 digital coax and 1 optical input.
Go for the z-5500's I have the exact same setup, it has one digital coax and one optical input also. I'm using a xFi card with mine also.
I would really recommend it.
